Trai seeks govt clarity on backhaul spectrum rules

New Delhi: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has sought clarifications from the government on the allocation of backhaul spectrum, including the E and V bands, in the wake of the new Telecommunications Act that said such airwaves should be given administratively.

As per the Act, ‘radio backhaul’ shall mean the use of radio frequency only to interconnect telecom equipment other than customer devices in telecommunication networks.
